My future in laws offerred to throw me a shower(the women) and it was such a thoughtful gesture I graciously accepted. They asked me what day would be good and I told them either last Sat in APril or first Sat in May. Well that was 3 weeks ago and I haven't heard back from them! Am I supposed to keep both dates open and wait? I don't really want to say..so what day are you throwing me my party!? And honostly it is a far drive for me and I really wouldn't mind not having one. So my friends want to take me away first week in May for a bachlorette party and I don't know what to do. I don't want to ask the fIL's about the shower because I'd rather they forgot about it. But is it not nice to make other plans aeven though I waited 3 weeks?

can your FH do some digging around and see what the "women" say? Maybe he can ask his mom what weekend was decided on? (asking in a "wow, that's so nice of you to offer! What weekend have you decided on?" kinda voice)

...actually I guess it wouldn't be his mom that is giving the shower......BUT he could still say "...so nice of Aunt Jane.....what weekend has she decided on?".

Well..I don't want any one to ask! I'm afraid that will set it in stone. I really just want to make other plans. Since they haven't gotten back to me for over 3 weeks now, I'm sort of assuming they aren't having it. Do you think it's rude to go ahead and make other plans?

I do think it is jumping the gun to make other plans. Since they will be your future in-laws, you should be able to just call them (her) up and ask about it. Just tell her/them that you have a lot going on and need to do some final planning and were wondering if they were still planning that, and if so, when. And, thank them for volunteering to do it. On the flip side of things, they shouldn't say they're planning that if they do't go through with it, and as a stressed-out bride, you have the right to know something important like this--just ask them. Let us know what happens.

They might be deciding to do it suprise style too. That might be why you haven't heard from them. Yes, you know about it, but you don't know when. That might be the suprise. Or they might still be trying to put it together. For baby showers, it has taken me up to two months to plan. By the time you call everyone, plan the day or evening, call everyone again, do some more organizing, call everyone again, you get the idea. If you can, I'd hold on for just a little while longer.
Or you could make your plans and just play dumb after LOL!

Well...if it is surprise style..they're gonna be surprised!!! I have people that keep trying to plan things for me weekends before the wedding. The month of the wedding is not a good month to keep me hang'n! Thanks for the words all.
BTW...Robin...your 2nd suggestion just might work. lol
